In addition to customised groups, Groupize.com’s online marketplace showcases a variety of group travel products based on a destination.

Group organisers can shop for tours, motorcoaches, group attractions, group hotels, group air, group rail, group cruises, group restaurants, group insurance, and tour guides for sightseeing.

Charles de Gaspe Beaubien, president of Groupize.com, highlighted that the launch responds to the changes in the industry such as the increasing demand for smaller groups and the ability to create unique experiences for diversified interests.

The company also mentioned that most airlines and distribution systems have neglected automation for group bookings, despite the sizable revenues of this segment. The American Bus Association (ABA) estimates the North American Motorcoach Group Travel expenditures at $54 billion and PhoCusWright estimates the group and small meetings market at $175 billion. Even though this is a large segment of the travel industry, OTAs and travel websites currently don’t offer group products, it added.

The company says this online marketplace allows destinations and group travel suppliers to reach group decision makers more effectively using the Groupize.com distribution channels and tools.
